Spirit of Kings Tabana EDP

Description

Tabana is a spiced leather-and-oud scent: saffron and cardamom up front, leather and pepper in the middle, ambergris underneath. Released in 2019 and composed by Christian Provenzano, it is one of the earlier fragrances from Spirit of Kings, the house that names each scent for a royal virtue. The brand frames it as a tribute to a young prince. It is a compact composition with few notes, which is part of its appeal. Bergamot lifts the opening, the agarwood arrives early rather than waiting in the base, and the ambergris gives the drydown a soft, salty warmth.

Scent Character

Translation: spice leads, with genuine agarwood as the second pillar. Bergamot supplies the fresh share and the ambergris the softer, sweeter warmth.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Bergamot, Oud, Cardamom, Saffron
• Heart: Leather, Pepper
• Base: Ambergris

Performance

Longevity: Around 7–9 hours on skin, longer on fabric.
Sillage: Moderate to strong in the first hours.
Projection: About two feet early on, then an arm's-length aura.

An honest note: few independent reviews exist for Tabana, so these figures are guidance rather than a promise. Leather and oud scents usually hold well on clothing.
